Just wondering what people here think of GEOS and whether or not it is
worth messing with. I downloaded the images from Asimov, transferred

wasting my time or is it worth it?

I always think of GEOS in an 8-bit environment, not the IIgs.

It crammed an extraordinary amount of GUI and functionality
into a 64KB system.

Berkeley Softworks was very innovative--they accomplished on
a 1MHz 64KB 6502 what VisiCorp failed to do well on an IBM PC
(with VisiOn).
